There is no question that English and literacy education receives a lot of attention in public discourse — politicians, the media and the wider community all have an interest in the work of teachers and the outcomes of education.
To clarify PETAA’s position on a range of the most commonly discussed aspects of English and literacy education, and to support teachers who may be looking for clarity and coherence amongst the noise, the PETAA Board have prepared a number of position statements, as below, with more in the pipeline. These statements are designed to promote sensible discussion that is based on research.
Our overarching position on a model of English teaching and learning at classroom and school level can be found in the About Us section of our website.
